TRADITIONAL SKILLS for CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS
"I graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. But it wasn’t until my early 30’s, when I discovered traditional Classical Realism training, that my representational painting reached a truly professional level.
"I started winning awards and selling my paintings. And I started getting requests to teach.
"I believe it's crucial for all serious art students to learn how to draw and paint from life,without over-reliance on photographs, grids, or external tools, in order to reach their highest artistic potential in any style"
-Sadie Valeri
